GoZips86 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 What's Kato Nelsons dad saying now? I don't have Twitter nor the energy to see someone's profile since sometimes Twitter makes it annoying to even do that lol. I always got the impression, likely unfairly, that his dad expected more out of him and isn't 100% satisfied with his career in terms of "making it big". He took a bunch of unofficial visits to big schools when he was in high school that were never recruiting him, which I assume his dad was behind. I don't think his dad would ever place any blame on his son, but rather that Akron 100% did him wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 If you have half a brain cell, you would have tuned out Kato's dad once you discovered he was very, very serious about "Kato for Heisman" deep into Kato's career. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've got so much emotion going into this game. For over two years now, all of the commentary about the MAC is "Kent State's the greatest! They score so many points! Sean Lewis is the best coach in the MAC!" Meanwhile, Akron has been an utter disgrace. Well, there's a new Sheriff in town. He goes by O-Rod. The energy he has pumped into this team and locker room is staggering, and I am fully expecting him to have the Zips fired up and ready for this game. To look at the football, there will likely be many points scored. At least there should be. I'm always concerned about Akron's abilities as we never really know what we're going to get, but offensively the potential is there. Defensively, I still have big time worries, and this is where Akron lost this game last year, and would likely lose it this year. It could be a shoot out. I really don't have a ton more to say. I want this one more than usual. With a loss, Kent is still in the title race, but I want to break them. Lewis loves rivalries and will have them ready to fight like no other, but I have all my hopes in the Zips to come out and play just as hard, looking to prove themselves in the college football world on Saturday. I want the wheel. The Zips want the wheel. I can't wait!!! GO ZIPS!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Adams Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Zips D can't keep up with the fast paced Kswho O. Won't give the offense enough chances to score. I fear a blowout in the first half. Kswho is playing for the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for a high scoring game … like 48-34 Kent. But the Zips have a puncher’s chance. Kent is NOT rolling right now. If the Zips can jump out to an early lead, the Flashes could panic. Question of the day- is Guthrie hoping the Zips win, or get blown out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Guthrie loves Oscar and it would make him look even better in naming O-Rod the interim if Akron can pull this off. It will also prove him right about Arth. Let’s be honest, if Arth were still the man in charge, nobody would have any hope about this one. He (Arth) rubbed a lot of people at the U the wrong way when in his first year he made it very clear that Kent was just another game to him and he wasn’t really into rivalries. Alums that work at the U were absolutely baffled and furious. Then on a beautiful homecoming afternoon, they put up a 26-3 stinker that was 1000x worse than the 69-35 beat down last year. Arth didn’t have the right mentality. Oscar does. Does that mean he deserves a run at this thing for the long haul? Probably not. But it further solidifies the decision. BG fired Mike Jinks mid way through 2018. Nobody thought that was a bad decision when they came to Infocision on senior day and embarrassed us by keeping us out of the end zone for the entire game. It only further validated what the AD decided on. Ditto Buffalo in 2014. Kicked our tail with the interim. I should get to sleep. Roll Zippy.

To prove that Oscar isn't the future? During the WMU game broadcast the announcers said none of the existing staff would be retained, including Oscar. Oscar said he wanted to win the Wagon Wheel “as a gift to the next staff.” That tells me Oscar isn’t the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
